Happy 50th Birthday Dad

We recently had a Happy 50th Birthday Party for my Mom

and now it has come around to be my Dad's turn! 

We had a Surprise 50th Birthday Party! With a little help from my 

hubby we managed to keep him away with a string of intricately woven lies...

right up until we all jumped out shouting SURPRISE!! 

Our one and only game was a Trivia Game with a question from each year of his life!

Everyone paired up and got to work for a little friendly competition!

And the Grand Prize

An Over the Hill Potty Night Light

(to ensure your old eyes never have problems seeing 

the potty in the middle of the night again)

and we gave a Jar of HOMEMADE FUDGE SAUCE!!

Spaghetti Pool Pretend Play

Spaghetti Pool Play!!

On an Indian Summer 90 degree day here we decided that cooking was overrated and so we dumped our spaghetti noodles in the blue pool!

First boil the noodles in food colored water!

Then add to pool and PLAY!!!

Our strainer from our sensory bin was a great addition to this pool! 

Some really fun creative pretend play cooking!

Make your self a 

NOODLE NECKLACE or a NOODLE BRACELET

M2 climbed right in and had a blast!
